Compute and chips

Every recent advance in AI rests on more compute: more chips, more energy, more data centers. This topic follows the measurable trends in hardware, the semiconductor supply chain and the geopolitics around it.

Mind and matter: from 10−10 to 10−1 meters

Questions that guide this topic

  • How fast is the compute used to train models growing, and how long can that last?
  • Why do almost all advanced chips depend on so few factories?
  • What happens if compute becomes the new oil?
